Teleport

Teleport
Power Score: Int
Initial Cost: 10 +
Maintenance Cost: na
Range: infinite
Preparation Time: 0
Area of Effect: personal
Prerequisites: none
Teleport is the essential power within this discipline. It allows the
psionicist to teleport to a familiar spot. The destination must be a place that
the character knows and can picture mentally - even if he’s never actually been
there. For example, a psionicist may still know a location that he has seen
through a crystal ball, via a sight link, or even by scanning someone else’s mind
for the information.
The psionicist can still teleport to a place even if it has somehow changed
from the way he pictures it. For example, if a room has been rearranged, or is
currently on fire, such changes won't affect the teleport.
Teleports always take characters to a fixed location. For example, if a
character tries to teleport into a gypsy wagon which is on the move, he'll arrive
at the wagon’s location when he last knew it. The wagon itself may be miles away
by then. Also, if the character was picturing the wagon’s interior, he will
teleport to the space corresponding to the wagon’s interior - which is several
feet off the ground! Because the wagon itself has moved, the teleporter will
fall when he arrives (imagine teleporting to a room on the fifth floor of a
tower, only to discover the tower has been razed by marauders since your last
visit).
Teleportation is instantaneous. The teleporting character simply ceases to
exist in his previous location and springs into being at the destination. There
is a slight, audible “ pop” at both ends, as air rushes into the sudden vacuum
or is instantly displaced.
Restraints do not affect teleportation. A character who is tied up,
shackled to a wall, or buried up to his neck can still teleport. The restraints
remain behind.
Clothing, on the other hand, does accompany a character who teleports. He may also carry small items in his grasp or wear equipment (e.g., armor) on his person, not exceeding one-fifth of his own body mass. If he doubles the amount of PSPs expended, he can carry up to three times his body mass, or take along one or two other characters on whom he has a firm grasp.
A character can teleport any distance, but as the distance increases, so does the chance of failure and the cost in PSPs. Ranges, point costs, and power score modifiers are shown below.
If the teleportation die roll is a 1 or 2, the character and anyone else with him are momentarily disoriented by the jump. They can do nothing during the round which immediately follows the teleport. After that, they suffer a 2-point penalty to the following for 1d6 rounds: initiative die rolls, psionic power checks, and attack rolls.

Initial Power Score
Distance Cost Modifier
10 yards 20 +1
100 yards 20 0
1,000 yards 30 -1
10 miles 40 -2
100 miles 50 -3
1,000 miles 60 -4
10,000 miles 70 -5
planet to planet* 100 -6
* Players with the SPELLJAMMER boxed set should note that interplanetary
teleports are possible only within the same crystal sphere. It is impossible to
teleport between crystal spheres or different planes of existence.
Power Score - The PSP cost is reduced by 20 percent, rounded up
20 - No effect.

Dimensional Door

Dimensional Door
Power Score: Con -1
Initial Cost: 4
Maintenance Cost: 2/round
Range: 50 yards +
Preparation Time: 0
Area of Effect: na
Prerequisites: none
Like teleportation, a dimensional door takes a character from one location
to another. The similarity stops there, however. With dimensional door, the
psionicist opens a man-sized portal which leads to the edge of another dimension.
The edge acts as a lightning-quick transit system, carrying travelers to a
destination chosen by the psionicist who uses this power.
When the psionicist uses this devotion, he creates a door leading into the
alternate dimension. The door is a vaguely outlined portal, which appears in
front of the psionicist. At the same time, an identical portal appears wherever
he wants it, within range (see below). The door can have whatever orientation
the psionicist chooses. If someone (including the psionicist) steps into either
portal, he immediately steps out of the other. Both doors remain in place for as
long as the psionicist maintains the power.
The dimension accessed by this power is not fully understood. Clearly, it
has very different qualities of time and space, such that motion is greatly
accelerated. For many years this transit was thought to be instantaneous, but
arduous experiments by Larue d’jar Azif of Dhaztanar have proved that a very tiny
bit of time does elapse. What this means is still unknown.
Travel via this power is disorienting. Presumably, exposure to the
alternate dimension traumatizes the body in some way. As a result, a traveler is
dazed and cannot attack or move for one round after stepping through a
dimensional skip portal. Quick transit is advisable. People who shove only an
arm through a portal suffer intense pain. Fools who poke their head through a
portal must make a system shock roll; failure means they lose 50% of their
current hit points and pass out.
Inanimate objects are not affected by exposure to the dimension’s edge. In
fact, a character can throw or fire objects through a portal, and they'll come
out on the other side. Attackers suffer a -4 penalty on their to-hit rolls
against targets on the other side of the dimension’s edge.
Range: The normal range of this power - i.e., the maximum distance between
the two portals - is 50 yards. The distance can be extended only with severe
reductions to the character’s power score, as shown below. Increasing the range
does not increase the PSP cost, however.
Distance Power Score
Between Doors Modifier
50 yards 0
75 yards -2
100 yards -5
150 yards -8
200 yards -12
Power Score - Transit does not cause disorientation.
20 - The psionicist is momentarily exposed to the transit dimension and is
disoriented as if he had stepped through the portal.

Dream Travel

Dream Travel
Power Score: Wis -4
Initial Cost: 1/25 miles
Maintenance Cost: na
Range: 500 miles
Preparation Time: 0
Area of Effect: personal
Prerequisites: none
Dream travel is a powerful but unreliable means of getting from here to there. The traveler journeys in his dreams, and awakes wherever his nocturnal wandering carried him. The psionicist can even take other characters with him, although it’s more difficult than traveling alone (see "Passengers" below).
To use dream travel, the psionicist must be asleep. Once asleep, he begins fashioning a dream that involves traveling from his present location to his intended destination. At the beginning of the journey, the DM secretly makes a power check for the character. If the check succeeds, the psionicist will reach his destination. If the check fails, the character will fall short 10% for each point that the die roll exceeded the power score.
If the DM wants, this power check is all that’s required to handle dream travel during a game. However, it’s far more satisfying to actually role-play the dream. The player creates the setting and describes his intentions, with the DM interrupting to change things arbitrarily and throw obstacles in the character’s path.
If the player overcomes the obstacles and solves problems inventively, the
DM is justified in giving a bonus to the character’s power check. If the dream
is dull and lifeless, the DM can also penalize the power check.
The DM should remember that this is a dream; terrain on the journey may not resemble actual terrain, the character may be completely different, and the world may be completely strange. The length of the dream journey should be approximately the same as the real distance, however, and the final destination should be at least similar to the real destination. Such dream adventures should minimize combat and maximize problems, puzzles, and surreal atmosphere. If combat does occur, it has no effect on the character physically, but if he is killed, he wakes up, right where he started.
A dream journeys take approximately eight hours to complete, successful or
not.
Passengers: The psionicist can bring other characters along with him in the dream. His power score is reduced by one for each passenger he carries.
Passengers must also be sleeping. A single power check launches everyone on the dream journey. If the check fails, they still attempt the dream journey but fall short of their target. The psionicist must pay the PSP cost of the trip individually for each character accompanying him in the dream.
